Many of the world's 7000 documented language groups are endangered
due to falling rates of language and culture transmission from one
generation to the next. Some endangered language groups have been
the focus of efforts to reverse patterns of linguistic and cultural
loss, with variable success. This book presents case studies of
endangered language groups from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe
and the Pacific (including Bisu, Iban, Iquito, Quechua, Wawa, Yi
and sign languages) and of their associated knowledge and belief
systems, to highlight the importance of preserving linguistic and
cultural diversity. Issues of identity and pride emerge within the
book, alongside discussion of language and culture policy.
